in their skivvies

the Kit, Chloe and Louise dolls I’ve been working on are finally finished! now it’s time for some outfits…

***updated to add***
I didn’t really have time to write anything yesterday so I thought I’d just do a little show and tell on the new dolls but Tim’s all “aren’t you even going to talk about them”. Guess he figures if he has to listen to me chatter on about these dolls all week that the rest of you should … More
